Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3124

While pondering at the rear of the mountain, Matthew sensed a panicked figure entering his perception, followed by a dozen more intruders. Curious, Matthew lightly pushed off with his toes and leaped into the air, his body as light as a bird's.

Gadel, in his panic, saw darkness before him and thought his pursuers had caught up. His heart sank in despair.

"Prince Gadel, what happened to you?"

Upon hearing Matthew's voice, Gadel felt as if he had ascended to heaven from hell. Immediately, he turned around and taunted the black-clad men chasing him. "C'mon, come at me!"

When one of them realized the newcomer was Matthew, he halted and shouted, "It's Matthew Larson! Everyone, retreat!"

Watching them flee in panic, Matthew awkwardly scratched his nose, wondering, Am I really that terrifying?

Still, he threw the Solitary Nine Needles out, which all returned bloodstained.

At Montiria's camp, the lone surviving black-clad pursuer returned and entered the main tent, addressing Iris, in full military regalia, and the other princes seated below.

"Your Majesty, Prince—the fugitive escaped into Basha's Sacred Mount."

Iris frowned. Their father had named Gadel as his successor before his death, and for him to have met up with Matthew spelled imminent trouble for her.

Just then, the eighth prince stood up to speak. "Your Majesty, we should continue the assault on Basha's Sacred Mount, forcing them to surrender Matthew and Gadel."

"I agree," another prince said.

"I concur," added another.

The ninth, tenth, and thirteenth princes all voiced their support. Previously insignificant in Everton, they had been given positions by Iris upon her ascension.

"Very well, continue the bombardment!"

In Mr. Stewart's courtyard at Basha's Sacred Mount, Matthew sat facing the injured Gadel. He inserted several silver needles into the prince's acupoints to stop the bleeding and looked at him curiously. "How did you end up like this in just a few days, Prince Gadel?"

On the sacred mountain, Matthew, despite hearing clearly, ignored Enzo's proclamation.

"Mr. Lucius, perhaps we should…" As one of the elders spoke, he glanced at Matthew and Gadel.

"Silence! Matthew's wife is my goddaughter, making him one of us!" Lucius interrupted angrily, glaring at the elder.

The elder knew his suggestion was poorly timed, but it was a shared concern.

"If we fight, our tens of thousands of disciples will perish, and Basha's Sacred Mount’s legacy will be lost, Mr. Lucius."

Then, dozens of elders knelt, bowing their heads, leaving Lucius' anger unvented. He knew that if they fought, Basha's Sacred Mount would be destroyed. But given Matthew's closeness to the Basha's Sacred Mount, he couldn't possibly actually give him up, could he?!

Soon, more and more elders knelt, pleading. Only Lucius, Mr. Stewart, and a few others remained standing, their implication evident. "You're putting me in an impossible position…"
